In an interview with Jorge Ramos last week, Ocasio-Cortez was asked how she would pay for the multibillion-dollar health care plan promoted by liberal lawmakers like Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Kamala Harris, D-Calif. Ramos noted critics say the program would be “more expensive” than the current system, to which she answered that people would “just pay for it.”

“People often say, like, how are you going to pay for it and I find the question so puzzling because ‘How do you pay for something that’s more affordable? How do you pay for cheaper rent?’ You just pay for it,” she said.

It is impossible to know how much it would cost. Smith suggests $400 billion per year for renewable energy generation. The Universal Basic Income and Green Renovations of every building in the USA would be in the trillions most likely.

The proles can run out of the willingness to accept it has any store of value, but as long as the State has paramilitary death squads, the fiat currency can be insisted upon as their chosen medium of exchange.

As in, you get to exchange your support of their fiat currency for the right to spend one more day out of the gulag.

We’re stuck with fiat currencies, so I say we should have lots of it. Ergo…
Each US state should have its own floating currency, as should each Australian state.

A Tasmanian Tiger note would be worth about 10% of a Queensland Toad Note, a South Australian Crow would be worth 5% of a NSW Waratah and so on.
As each commie trashes his state with redistribution and other socialist acts, their economy would tank without much affecting other states.

Best way to wake people up. Give them their own local currencies.
Socialism would end in a hurry (well, maybe).

p.s. Would it not be a worthwhile exercise for an economic boffin to write up a paper detailing what each state’s currency would be worth were they to issue their own currencies?

Given the fondness of Hollywood for remakes, one of the studios should get in early with ‘All The Queen’s Women’ which would be oh so topical –

“Long’s Share Our Wealth plan was established on February 23, 1934 with the motto “Every Man a King.” To stimulate the economy, Long advocated federal spending on public works, schools and colleges, and old age pensions. Long argued that his plan would enable everyone to have at least a car, a radio, and a home worth $5,000.” [from the Wikipedia article on Huey Long]

It’s a miracle. A miracle, I tells ya.!
AOC has discovered………………..that there is a magic pudding. And it can give you all you want for ever and ever. It is the magic pudding otherwise known as robbing from “the rich” (i.e.those who work) and giving the proceeds of that theft to those who do not work, all the while funding their pet projects and grand schemes.”
Sadly its the same magic pudding discovered by left leaning halfwits everywhere (and if it comes to that, everywhen). Truly AOC is too dumb, too lacking in intellectual curiosity to understand that wealth has to be created. And if people are punished for creating wealth then they stop creating it and the Ponzi Scheme falls in a hole.

Like other dumb people who have managed to get their arses on ato a seat of power she truly is the gift that keeps on giving.
